Description

These functions provide access to machine-readable versions of the List of Parties of the Manifesto Project Data as can be found in CSV form under https://manifesto-project.wzb.eu/datasets . Note: the list of parties is not available for all of the past datasets. You can check the availability by going to the datasets page and check for specific datasets whether they have party lists in the following formats "List – Short (CSV)" or "List – Long (CSV)" available. There you can also find the codebooks with details for these list of parties.
